City Plaza Hotel
Synopsis
Zhenos lives with her sisters in a hotel occupied and run by refugees in the center of Athens. She is only eleven years old, but she has already lived through horrific experiences, having escaped with her family from the armed conflict in Afghanistan. Now far from their home, they try to build a new life, learn the language of a strange country, in constant fear of being evicted.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe
A man swims in the sea. This brings back memories. They are all connected to water, from his early childhood to his adult life. This will be the story of his last swim.
